Highly Recommend

I met Kevin Tierney while he was working on a federal case for my family. The case was complicated; Kevin was thorough in researching the case and determining the best avenue to take. Although the case was lengthy, Kevin continued to work diligently to obtain the best possible result. He always too...k the time to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Kevin showed genuine concern for my family and treated us with kindness and respect.

Review

Kevin represented me in a case with the medical board concerning prescribing practices of controlled substances. First of all, he was very professional and understanding. Second, he was well prepared and went above and beyond. Highly recommend

2.7 million Payroll taxes!!

Kevin Tierney was recommended to me because my attorney took an elected position as head of all public defenders. I immediately felt at ease with Kevin because he jumped into a case that was complicated with a co-defendant, related to a partnership business. As Kevin got to know me, he saw that I wa...s in a terrible situation. (FYI, 1/2 of that 2.7 are penalties and interest. We made over a million in the first year of business and roughly 90% was payroll) Thank God, Kevin is an excellent communicator because he was able to relay my circumstance to the IRS and the State of Ohio. Kevin did everything in his power to keep me out of prison and get me the most fair sentence for my charges. Additionally, Kevin offered to stay with me twice after court. Once after I pleaded, I had to go and give all of my information and passport to probation. Then again, while I waited for probation after sentencing. This spoke volumes to Kevin's compassion for his clients. Right at the end of my court proceedings with the IRS, I was hit with another deposition with the State of Ohio. Kevin was able to arrange for ( Zach El-Sawaf , an associate with Frost Brown Todd ) the deposition and work an incredible agreement to pay with the BWC!! Literally, within a very small window of time I had this IRS and BWC nightmare behind me. I am extremely grateful to Kevin for everything he has done for me and my family. I would strongly recommend Kevin Tierney for any case dealing with IRS or the State of Ohio. I would also like to thank Frost Brown Todd for treating me as if I was just a person coming for a meeting and not a defendant. Every time I walked into their office I felt welcomed and was treated kindly by the whole firm down to the secretary at the front desk.
